President Donald Trump is leading America back to greatness. He is not a typical politician and he is not politically correct. He just believes in getting things done and running America like a business, putting successful people in the right position in his unashamed commitment of American greatness. Trump has shown in his first 100 days that he would fulfill his promises to the electorate to make America great again and he has already accomplished an impressive list of achievements.
Trump began bringing jobs back to America before he was sworn in as president, negotiating with both Ford and Carrier to stay in America. Other companies, such as Samsung, Exxon, Fiat, and Hasbro have already begun the process of returning their businesses to America to create more American jobs. Trump signed an executive order revitalizing the coal industry and approved the Dakota Access Pipeline and the Keystone Pipeline, which will create more jobs and bring energy independence to America.
While Trump is putting American industry and the private sector to work, he is eliminating government regulations and freezing non-essential hiring throughout the federal government, including a five year ban on lobbyist. The Wall Street Journal editorial stated, “So far the Trump administration is a welcome improvement, rolling back more regulations than any president in history.” As a result, Trump has already cut the U.S. debt burden by $68 billion while the Philly Fed Index, a survey of how well manufacturers are doing, has hit its highest level since 1984. The NFIB Small Business Optimism Index is at its highest level since 2004. Economic and consumer confidence are surging.
Trump has put America’s security as a top priority. Illegal immigration is down 67 percent. Border Patrol and ICE are deporting criminals and “sanctuary cities” that harbor criminal illegal aliens face losing federal funding.
Trump reacted to Syria’s murder of woman and children. He sanctioned Iran over their missile program. He dropped a 21,600 pound bomb on the ISIS headquarters and training facility with many underground tunnels. Trump is building up a military while dealing with the nuclear threat of an unhinged leader in North Korea, which was enabled by former President Bill Clinton when he removed sanctions from North Korea on an empty promise not to seek nuclear weapons.
Trump selected Neil Gorsuch to the United States Supreme Court, who will defend freedom and protect America from judicial activism.
Trump signed an executive order to protect police officers, created a task force to reduce crime, and signed an executive order to target drug cartels.
Trump is working at a neck-breaking pace in just 100 days. He will reduce taxes, eliminate the burden of Obamacare, renegotiate NAFTA even while the Democrats continue to try to stop him with rogue judges or obstruction. Trump is leading with an agenda to Make America Great Again.

Democrats have been trying to create an impression that Russia influenced the 2016 election. They have speculated about Trumps’s team, businesses, taxes, campaign, and Trump, himself, colluding with the Russians without providing any evidence. They speculated that voting machines were hacked by the Russians as well as Hillary’s unsecure and illegal server, her campaign manager’s email, and the DNC without providing an ounce of evidence.

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange released emails and records were not disputed and he has stated there was no Russian connection. Instead, he implied that Seth Conrad Rich, a Democrat staffer was the leaker. Rich was murdered on July 20, 2016 in what was reported as a robbery gone wrong at 4:30 am. However, his watch, wallet, and phone were still on him and bruises were found on his hands, face, and knees as a sign he had earlier fought against those tied to his murder.

While the Democrats attempted to look for ties to Russia with Trump, they ignored Hillary’s approval of 20% of American uranium sold to Russia just before millions were given to the Clinton Foundation by the Russians or the many meetings she had with the Russian ambassador, including other prominent Democrats.

After Trump began his transition to the presidency, various leaks within the government began to emerge of Trump and his staff’s private conversations. General Flynn resigned and Trump acknowledged private conversations with various leaders were leaked to the media.

The New York Times reveled that in the final days of the Obama administration, the power of the National Security Administration, which does surveillance, were expanded. The New York Times also reported a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance (FISA) warrant was sought in June to examine “U.S. persons in Donald Trump’s campaign.” That request was denied; but a request in October was granted by three judges appointed by President Clinton after evidence was presented possibly related to the Trump campaign and its alleged links to two Russian banks.

A FISA warrant is a criminal warrant to do surveillance, which means the sitting president of the incumbent party was investigating the presidential candidate and his campaign.

To prevent American fingerprints, the Obama administration used GCHQ, which is the official British spying agency to monitor Trump and his associates with access to the NSA database. Three intelligence sources and the British have confirmed they assisted the Obama administration and former Attorney General Loretta Lynch.

If all is true, American citizens had illegal surveillance. Further complicating matters, Hillary Clinton, as a private citizen, received such information from the Obama administration, which immediately used the information for her benefit. These are arrestable offenses of high crimes.

Further, President Obama received the action between his attorney general and the FBI on the FISA surveillance in his daily intelligence briefing.

All along, Americans have been duped to believe the Russians were colluding with the Trump campaign without a shred of evidence. Now, it is beginning to appear the Russian hoax was a smokescreen to cover up the activity of surveillance against Trump and his campaign by the Obama administration.

President Trump swore to protect and defend Americans by keeping them safe from terrorism. The previous administration had identified seven nations that were either sponsors of terrorism or are controlled by terrorists, including ISIS and Al-Queda. Yet, those nations – Iraq, Iran, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Libya, and Sudan – had refugees approved to come to America without know who they were.

ISIS sent messages to their militants to use the refugee program to hide their militants among the refugees to commit terrorists’ attacks in Europe and to come to America. Trump was not going to jeopardize American lives and therefore put a 90 day temporary ban on those nations to find a plan to be assured no terrorists are coming to America by improving the screening process to keep America safe. It is the Democrats and Obama who are responsible for creating the refugee crisis through the vacuum created in Iraq when America left Iraq forcing the Iraqi government to release thousands of violent criminals and thugs from prison, which formed ISIS.

Democrats emerged from their swamp of hypocrisy to protest this travel ban, despite knowing past presidents have used travel bans on immigrants. Obama had used the travel ban 19 separate times, including a six month travel ban on Iraqi refugees in 2011 and most recently a travel ban on Cuban refugees, stranding legal Cuban travelers just a month ago. There were no protests or tears against Obama’s travel ban. I can assume Democrat leader Chuck Schumer forgot his statement in November 2015 that a refugee pause “may be necessary” as tears swelled up in his own eyes.

The fake news media pushed the narrative calling Trump’s ban a “Muslim ban” when only seven of the 57 identified Muslim nations were affected. The Democrat aligned media called the ban “unconstitutional” despite knowing that 16 current Democrat U.S. Senators and 57 Democrat Representatives were part of a unanimous vote in 2002 that passed the Enhanced Border Security and Visa Reform Act restricting non-immigrant visas from countries designated as state sponsors of terror following the attack on September 11, 2001. This law is still a Federal Law: 8 U.S. Code 1735. Trump had legal right and authority to enforce the law for security. The Democrats used their own theater to persuade public opinion and promote protests against President Trump claiming his actions were “unconstitutional” knowing full well he has legal authority through their own vote and previous actions by other presidents.

Opponents filed an appeal for a temporary ban to U.S District Judge James Robart in Seattle, who granted their appeal. Harvard Law Professor, Alan Dershowitz, who is an admitted liberal, disagreed with the ruling stating the U.S. Supreme Court has already ruled the U.S. Constitution does not protect non-citizens; therefore the ruling is an “uphill climb” for those states.

Still, those protestors who came with their cardboard signs and expressed their tears against the ban were never there for the 140 police officers killed in the line of duty in 2016. There were no tears for the 424,000 unemployed veterans or the 39,471 homeless veterans. No, only rage and tears for 109 travelers who were inconvenience and verified before their release; even though over 325,000 people traveled to America that weekend.

I am sure each of those protestors locks their doors at night not because they don’t love the people outside; but because they love the people inside and want to keep them safe.

President Trump believes a nation without borders is not a nation. He believes it is better to prevent a terrorist attack on America rather than responding to a terrorist attack on America. Trump loves Americans and wants to keep America safe.

President Trump has been called a “racist” and “unsympathetic” toward illegal aliens. Really?

How does Mexico treat those entering their country illegally?

According to Mexico’s immigration laws, Article 32 states you must speak Spanish and must be a professional who is useful to the Mexican society. There are no bilingual programs in the school and no pressing 2 for English. All business must be conducted in Spanish. Investors are welcome; but must pay higher than minimum wage and your land purchases are restricted. Article 34 states that foreigners must have the necessary funds to support themselves and their dependents. There are no welfare programs, food stamps, government housing or entitlements.

Article 87 states foreigners must be “physically and mentally healthy.” Articles 73, 85, 86, 87 state foreigners must be on a national population registry, cooperating with federal local, and municipal police. Article 116 states foreigners using fake documents face a fine and imprisonment. Immigrants must show birth certificate to show citizenship and must have identification when voting. Articles 117-121 state foreigners who fail to obey laws will be fined, deported, and felons imprisoned. No one is allowed to enter the country with a criminal record. There is no due process of deportation. There is no 14th Amendment. Law enforcement officers are required to enforce Mexico’s immigration laws at all times. Articles 123-126 make illegal immigration a felony. Articles 127 state any Mexican who marries a foreigner with the sole objective of helping the foreigner is subject to five years in prison.

The government of Mexico benefits from American policies since criminals and their poor flee to America for many free benefits and a safe haven provided for them.

President Trump’s policies are much kinder. He wants to prevent criminals, terrorist, gang members, drug cartels, and human traffickers from entering America. He wants to reduce the tax burden on the American taxpayer, which according to www.politicallyincorrectfacts.com is $383 Billion Dollars annually for healthcare, education, incarceration, and social services. This is far more than the one-time payment of $10 Billion to build a wall and far less than the $140 Billion Obama gave to Iran.

President Trump is for legal immigration and hears the voices of victims that are suffering from the hand of criminals here illegally, who find refuge in sanctuary cities. These sanctuary cities undermine our rule of law to protect criminals and provide them benefits while many Americans live in poverty and struggle to find jobs. Maybe the mayors of sanctuary cities can provide the same love for the families of veterans. If not, they are welcome to move to Mexico where the immigration laws are much stricter. However, don’t call the president of Mexico a “racist” or you may end up in jail or worse – never to be heard from again!

According to the Pew Research Center, one out of eight registered voters (24 million) are invalid in America. There are 1.8 million dead voters, 2.75 million voters in multiple states, and 12 million with invalid addresses. Already there have been multiple cases of voter fraud prior to the election including fake and dead people being registered to vote. A woman who died in 2008 has voted five times since her death. A woman in Florida was found in possession of several absentee ballots for Hispanic voters whom were deaf, blind, or had Alzheimer’s.

When I voted in the last election, I was not required to provide any identification to vote since California does not require it. All I had to say was a name and address. I could have easily stated any registered voter’s name and address and I would have been allowed to vote for that person. The following states require no identification to vote: California, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Vermont, West Virginia, Wyoming, and Washington, D.C. The majority of these states have voted Democrat in past elections with Nevada, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania mentioned as swing states with evidence of voter fraud.

Several years ago, I met a man who told me that he was trained in “voter impersonation” in a coordinated effort to commit voter fraud for the Democrats Party before he became a Republican. He told me the Democrats would do polling to target voters and gather information on the likelihood that the voter would not be voting for any number or reasons in the upcoming election, including if the voter had moved or was recently deceased. The Democrat Party would then verify the information by physically visiting the residence. The information was gathered to identify registered voters as “safe voters” to have a fraudulent voter use those names and addresses since no voter identification was required. These fraudulent voters would go to a number of precincts or even to other nearby states with lists of assigned “safe voters” to vote in their name. If the name happened to be removed from the voter precinct, they were instructed to fill out a “provisional ballot” with the voter’s name without consequence or verification needed. With early voting, they could vote for a number of individuals using a name and address without ever having the suspicion of being caught or detected.

Prior to the 2016 presidential election, a number of undercover journalists, organized by James O’Keefe, from Project Veritas revealed a conspiracy to commit violence, intimidation, and voter fraud. Some Trump events had financial backing from groups collaborating with the DNC and George Soros to create violence at Trump campaign events to create the perception that Trump supporters were violent, causing the public to be outraged with Trump in an effort to sway and intimidate voters away from supporting Trump. I have supplied two of the four videos links.

The Hillary campaign funded the Democrat National Committee (DNC) to pay Democracy Partners, a political consulting company founded by Bob Creamer. Creamer then funded the Foval group, headed by Scott Foval, to organize violence at Trump events and rallies to coordinate a perception that Trump supporters were violent.

Creamer, who is a convicted felon for bank fraud, was the financial organizer for the operation. According to White House records, he was a guest at the White House 342 times and met directly with President Obama 45 times. In one hidden camera video, filmed at Creamer’s Washington, D.C. office, Creamer explains that Hillary Clinton was aware of “all” of his activities, directly or indirectly, and that Democracy Partners has a daily conference call with the Clinton campaign, as well as frequent calls with the White House.

On another video, Scott Foval, from the Foval group, states “The campaign (Hillary Clinton campaign) pays the DNC, DNC pays Democracy Partners, Democracy Partners pays the Foval group, Foval group goes and executes the shit on the ground” to agitate and start disruptions to get bad press at Trump and Pence events. Foval continues, “We have to be careful because what we don’t need is for it to show up on CNN that the DNC paid ‘X’ people to..that’s not going to happen.”

In another video, Foval admits to several ways to commit voter fraud with the guidance of Creamer without getting caught in their effort to rig an election. Foval states, “We manipulate the votes with money and action, not with laws.” Foval and Creamer coordinated with each other in a number of voter fraud scams including businesses writing checks to fake people and using the check stub as identification to vote in states that required voter identification. Those states that do not require voter identification would make the voter fraud much easier.

Foval admits that those committing voter fraud are not bused in but use their own vehicle to vote in multiple precincts and across state lines to vote for multiple voters that were previously screened as not voting for various reasons.

After the release of videos by Project Veritas, Creamer and Foval have “stepped aside” from their Democrat position.

The Democrats are also trying to change the rules by allowing felons to vote. Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe, along with other Democrats, has attempted to allow felons to restore their voting rights. He ignored his state’s supreme court ruling and illegally gave 60,000 felons voter registration cards.

In California, there has been an attempt to allow youth to vote advertised as getting youth to participate in an election with their vote being a percentage of those 18 years or older. Two cities in Maryland allow youth to vote at 16 years and some states are considering lowering the age to vote. http://www.youthrights.org/issues/voting-age/

According to www.voterfraud.org over 3 million illegal immigrants cast votes in the 2016 presidential election. The organization’s founder Gregg Phillips said they reached that number after analyzing a whopping 180 million voter registrations from across the country. Voter fraud had been a major concern heading into this election, especially after President Obama encouraged illegal immigrants to vote without fear of legal consequences. It is suspected there are numerous cases of voter fraud by illegal aliens in several states. When eleven states now provide driver’s license to illegal aliens, there is nothing stopping illegal aliens from registering to vote according to this report by Bill O’Rielly on Fox News.

“I probably arrested more than a thousand illegal aliens in my career,” retired ICE Special-Agent-In-Charge Claude Arnold said during an interview with Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly. “I routinely encounter people in possession of voter registration cards… I would ask them, ‘Do you or have you voted?’ And often, I would get the answer, yes,” he said, adding that about 100 illegal aliens told him that they had voted.

He continued stating these illegal aliens were able to vote by obtaining fraudulent documents such as a counterfeit resident alien card or work authorization card, plus a counterfeit driver’s license, and a counterfeit Social Security card.

According to reporters at the “Daily Mail,” voting experts have stated it’s certain that illegal aliens, non-citizens, and other ineligible people did vote in significant numbers on Election Day

In 2013, Jesse Richman, a professor at Old Dominion University, conducted a study based on a report by the Cooperative Congressional Election Studies, which asked respondents for citizen status and whether they had voted. Based on the data, Richman estimated that 6.4 percent of non-citizens voted in the 2008 presidential election, which would translate to around 1.2 million votes. The number of non-citizens may have been more in 2016 considering Obama gave an evasive response in a YouTube interview suggesting that any voter fraud by illegal aliens would not be prosecuted under his administration.

In California, an honest vote has been taken over by a powerful Democrat party. This should serve as a warning to Republicans as the model for what the Democrat party would like to do for the rest of America. They have pandered to Hispanics and even assured illegal aliens a right to vote. By 2020, every registered voter will automatically receive mail-in-ballots where anyone can be registered to vote. The criminal class will rule and those who oppose will be ruled out. Honest voters will become frustrated and not even vote. California, and the nation with the Democrats in control, will be ruled by a one-party system. “It’s time to modernize the voting process,” said Democratic state Sen. Robert Hertzberg of Los Angeles, a co-sponsor. “We need to provide the same convenience and flexibility (people) have in other areas of their lives.” Democrats don’t mind saying “convenience” and “flexibility” to create more loophole for voter fraud.

In North Carolina, their voter ID law was ruled unconstitutional by three Democrat appointed judges, two from Obama and one from Clinton. Gov. Pat McCrory stated, “Photo IDs are required to purchase Sudafed, cash a check, board an airplane or enter a federal courtroom.” “Yet three Democratic judges are undermining the integrity of our elections while also maligning our state.”

As a result, McCrory lost a close re-election campaign despite questions of voter fraud. Officials acknowledged “overly similar” handwriting on several hundred absentee ballots in Bladen County. Campaign official Ricky Diaz cited evidence suggesting potentially similar situations in other counties. If several people were to coordinate an effort throughout several counties or states, it could have an impact on determining the outcome of an election locally, statewide, or nationally if it affects the Electoral College totals.

In Nevada, Republican Assembly Candidate, Stan Vaughan, had actual proof of the massive voter fraud in his Clark County district. A total number of 17,086 votes were cast in the District for both Republican and Democrat candidates. However, when confirmation letters were sent to the voters in the District, the US postal service returned mail from 9,200 of these voters.

Vaughn found that many of the people who are listed as deceased are still on the active voter rolls. Many of the returned mail came back with 5 people living in a vacant lot with no mail receptacle. Edward Snowden, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and dozens of movie starswere registered to vote in District 15 according to Mr. Vaughan.

Donald Trump lost Nevada by only 27,000 votes statewide. So 9,200 fraudulent voters in one small Assembly district is more than 1/3 of the total margin that Trump lost by.

It was also reported that Nevada poll workers wore defeat-Trump t-shirts at the polls during the election which was against the law and Hillary supporters were caught breaking the law before the election when registering people to vote as well.

In Pennsylvania, there were 20,736 absentee ballots cast, which 18,467 went to Clinton. This is highly suspicious with other serious voting irregularities.

In Wisconsin, parts of their voter ID law were also ruled unconstitutional by Judge James D. Peterson, who was also appointed by Obama. Later, a Hillary Clinton surrogate bragged on camera about coordinating voter fraud with “impersonating voters” at multiple polling places.

In Indiana, a massive absentee ballot scam is being investigated in 56 counties.

In Virginia, the Public Interest Legal Foundation discovered 1,046 non-citizens on the voter rolls in just the eight counties that responded to their request.

There are many more cases of suspected voter fraud throughout America with several states investigating voter fraud. The coordinated effort to create voter fraud has really elevated to a form of art. Some of those committing voter frauds are so blatantly proud of their success and creativity; they can’t resist gloating about their criminal behavior on camera. However, much voter fraud goes undetected and you have several states who deny the existence of voter fraud. They cite the lack of conviction, at the same time turning a blind eye to the corruption and crime taking place due to their own political beneficiary. These states are primarily run by Democrats and they will accuse anyone attempting to question voter fraud with racism in their quest to silence their opposition.

It has also been revealed that voter fraud was occurring through voting machines. Wikileaks has revealed the Hillary campaign wanted to “make Soros happy” referring to Communist billionaire, George Soros who provides much financial support to the DNC and Democrat groups. Voting machines in 16 states from Smartmatic have ties to George Soros. Chairman Mark Malloch-Brown is on the board of Soros’ Open Society Foundation. It was reported that voting machines have changed Republican votes to Democrat votes.

Computer programmer Clinton Eugene Curtis testified under oath in court and in Congress in March 2016 that he was hired by authorities to help rig the outcome of U.S. elections. He made software for voting machines that would give the desired results. “It would flip the vote” to whomever you want to win by the desired results without any election official ever detecting the software. When questioned, he stated, “They’d never see it.” The only way you can actually see the real vote is actually counting the votes against the receipt of the voting machine.

In Michigan, the recount effort started by Jill Stein exposed discrepancies in 392 precincts in what looks like systemic election fraud in Detroit. Sixty percent of the precincts in Wayne County had to be disqualified from the statewide recount due to “irregularities” when ballot boxes were found with broken seals, an indicator that ballots were either added, removed, or swapped out. In 20 Detroit precincts there were fewer ballots than were recorded by poll workers, including one precinct which had 50 ballots; but 306 ballots recorded.

This can account for several voting precincts nationwide that have voter turnout beyond 100% of those registered to vote.

Detroit’s election director, Daniel Baxter, attempted to explain the voting machines were jammed causing poll workers to remove and reinsert the same ballots, resulting in many ballots being counted multiple times. There apparently is a lot more than sheepishly claiming “human error” in these cities ran by Democrats. They will deny and minimize voter fraud because they are the one behind it. With 95% of the votes cast in these precincts for Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump would have won Michigan by a much higher margin than what was originally recorded.

According to Fox News judicial analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano, those irregularities look “organized” and “government involved.” He continued, “That is a different kind of fraud because that is the government defrauding itself.” “The poll worker is an employee of, or a volunteer in behalf of the government. You’re talking about a crime now. … The law guarantees fair elections — not perfect ones. If this had changed the outcome, it would be unfair and it would warrant a serious inquiry.”

“True the Vote absolutely supports President-elect Trump’s recent comment about the impact of illegal voting, as reflected in the national popular vote,” the group said in a statement. “We are still collecting data and will be for several months, but our intent is to publish a comprehensive study on the significant impact of illegal voting in all of its many forms and begin a national discussion on how voters, states, and the Trump Administration can best address this growing problem.”

Voter fraud is very real. Anyone who tells you otherwise is either benefitting from it or is simply foolish. The Democrats will stop at nothing to steal an election including the use of violence, intimidation, and several forms of voter fraud.

As Americans, we want fair elections. The law guarantees fair elections; but the evidence overwhelmingly proves that the Democrat Party has rigged the system and we have only a small window of opportunity to fix this problem. If we fail to seize this opportunity to fix this problem, the Democrat Party will assure their power in the future with no means of repairing again.

We cannot resist the urge to rest on our laurels and be content that voter fraud is no big deal simply because Trump won despite it. This is about more than just one election. It’s about our future and stopping what the Democrats are willing to do to secure their victory in future elections.

Voter fraud can have an effect on the course of history from our local elections to state elections to federal elections controlling Congress, the U.S. Senate, Governors, and the outcome of an election through our Electoral College, determining the presidency.

The Democrats have called on the abolishment of the Electoral College and some states have already wrote law requiring the Electoral Votes to be granted to the individual who won the popular vote in an effort to undermined the election process founded by our US Constitution.

We need to assure that our voting system is fair by establishing federal guidelines throughout the states. Democrats will oppose and do everything in their power to have control, even through criminally stealing an election from the people. However, with President Trump, a Republican Congress, the Senate, and with a slightly conservative U.S Supreme Court, we must provide a law protecting all votes in future elections from voter fraud and criminal activity.

SOLUTIONS:

A Federal Voter Protection Act must preserve and protect the integrity of American’s voting rights by providing minimal standards throughout each state through the following:

Require all states to require photo identification when voting.

Americans are required to show identification to get a library book, get medication, board an airplane, write a check, or attend the Democrat National Convention. So why is it so hard to show identification when voting? Except in very rare situations, every person has photo identification to verify who they are through their name and address. Most states, if not all, provide photo identification card for individuals who request them.

The purpose of photo identification isn’t done to violate an individual’s privacy; it’s requested by others as protection from fraud, theft and terrorism. By the same standards, we must do a better job protecting our polling places to prevent various forms of voter fraud including “voter impersonation” of those who have moved, are deceased, or have made it known their desire not to vote. You can’t prove someone is committing voter fraud if you don’t know the person’s true identity.

Under the 1965 Voting Rights Act, the attorney general has the right of approval for any proposed voting change in a state with a history of voter discrimination. This was originally targeted toward southern states.

Obama’s Justice Department rejected a new photo ID voting law passed in Texas, concluding that between 6 and 10.8 percent of Hispanics in that state lacked the required picture identification. In passing the law, Texas pledged to give out free ID cards to those who didn’t have one. The Justice Department rejected that idea because applicants for the free cards would have to provide a birth certificate.

We have a lot of rights here in America, but they come with responsibilities. You have the right to own a car and the privilege to drive if you get the proper license and insurance. We often have to prove who we are to get what we want. I see no reason why that maxim doesn’t apply to our right to vote.

Much has changed since the 1965 Voting Rights Act went into effect — the pervasiveness and ease of identity theft, to name just one obvious example. The idea of requiring a picture ID at the polls was recommended in 2005 by a commission on federal election reform co-chaired by none other than former President Jimmy Carter — not a man known to be hostile to minorities or the poor.

Not only should there be photo ID, there should be a fingerprint on the back of the voter ID that can be matched with the fingerprint that they have to put next to their name when they sign in. There are machines that they can hold that fingerprint under from the driver’s license and compare it to the fingerprints on the paper.

Requiring voter identification is the first step to revamp our voting system to ensure that only eligible voters actually vote.

Absentee Ballots opens the window to another type of voter fraud. Every ballot must be required to have a right thumb print associated with the ballot to verify each registered voter. (Obviously an exception can be made for the rare number of people who may not have a right thumb.)

When Absentee Ballots are sent to registered voters, there is an increased potential for voter fraud to occur. When you require a thumbprint to be matched with a ballot, the level of fraud will be decreased.

My researched has showed me there are several companies that make small ink pads including Alibaba and Ballot Expert. (Note: I have no association with any company relating to ink pads and only provide this information through my research.) These ink pads are inexpenisive and could be mailed with ballots to registered voters, especially those doing their vote through an absentee ballot. I have attached a link to one company called Alibaba.

Certainly, those wanting to commit voter fraud will not comply with the ballot requirements. They will either smug the ballot with a blotted thumb print or not put a thumb print at all. Those ballots would be easy to recognize and could be set aside for verification during a contested election. Those doing voter fraud with prints would have their prints on the ballot and those individuals would be easy to verify and be easy to prosecute.

Enforce that only American citizens, who are at least 18 years old and not a felon are eligible to vote.

Require all county Registrar of Voters to clean up the voter rolls with random audits from either the state and/or the federal government. (Registered voters, who are deceased, moved away, registered in multiple states, or with invalid address must be removed.)

All voters must have the mental capacity to be able to vote.

No one with a medical condition such as Alzheimer’s or any mental condition deemed by a medical doctor that deems the individuals mental state unable to properly understand and reason should be allowed to vote until the medical doctor has cleared the individual.

Random audits conducted by federal election workers.

To prevent federal election workers or those being in an assigned precinct from becoming aware of which federal worker would be conducting an audit, a lottery system must be set up for assignment of the federal election workers to the assigned precinct to be audited. (This will prevent rogue election workers that would be doing the audit coordinating with various election workers at various precincts from covering voter fraud.) If election workers are unaware who may be doing an audit or if they may be audited, they will be more inclined to be honest and not jeopardize criminal charges.

Federal audits would differ from state audits and the federal government could authorize more audits to states that do not satisfactorily conduct sufficient audits.

An audit should be conducted on any precinct where voter fraud was reported including; but not limited to those with “irregularities,” “over-voting,” reports of similar hand writings, or reports of voting machines switching votes.

A phone number to report voter fraud should be posted at every voting precinct and on all voter ballot material.

A federal audit must include a scan of all thumb prints on ballots through new technology for verification and to determine no fraud had occurred with multiple suspicious ballots.

A federal audit would include verification that the number of ballots is the same as the number recorded by election workers.

A federal audit would include physically contacting random voters for verification and mailing confirmation letters to various addresses to determine the addresses are real.

A federal audit would check the computer software and physically doing a sample vote on various voting machines, especially if voter fraud had been reported in a particular precinct involving computer voting machines.

A federal audit would verify the individual who registered any voter who has been determined fictitious.

Federal criminal charges with severe penalties for those prosecuted for committing, organizing, assisting or financing voter fraud or the intent to commit voter fraud.

Federal criminal charges with severe penalties to coordinate, assist, or finance individuals to obtain fraudulent or counterfeit identification such as a resident alien card, driver’s license, or social security card for the mean of registering or assisting the individual to vote.

This must include those who establish fraudulent individuals with paystubs as a form of identification through a business as a mean of providing identification to vote or be registered to vote.

Require that all voting machines should have an independent contractor with anti-hacking software and software that would prevent changes in the voting results.

Federal criminal charges with severe penalties for those who coordinate, organize, participate, advertise, assist, or conspire to commit violence or intimidation at campaign events.

Require all counties to cooperate with non-government organization’s audits as with the Freedom of Information Act to allow those organizations to conduct their own audits at their cost, such as the Public Interest Legal Foundation or True The Vote.

Require that states not be allowed to amend or undermine the Electoral College process by stating their Electoral Votes would go only to the candidate who wins the popular vote. The Electoral Voting process must be the same through all the states.

Federal Law with several penalties to anyone who threatens, persuades, or bribes an Elector to change his or her vote.

Expect the Attorney General to enforce all laws governing voter fraud and to sue any state, such as California, for promoting voter fraud through its faulty interpretation of the National Voting Rights Act. (California Secretary of State, Alex Padilla, makes it clear on his website that Registrar of Voters are to “treat as normal” and “enter on the voter rolls” those who have failed to affirm they are U.S. citizens on the voter registration card.)

Any future technology changes in our voting system must have safeguards to assure verification of the identity of the registered voter.

In conclusion, we must restore integrity to our election process and stop the criminal forces from stealing elections from honest Americans. America is the most technically advanced country in the world; yet, we have not assured our voting system is free from many types of voter fraud. A Federal Voter Protection Act will provide the minimal guidelines, standards, and safeguards for the states to assure the American people their vote will be fairly counted.

A friend has challenged me to prove that Donald Trump will govern as a conservative. I have taken this challenge to highlight some key points; but first, I must admit that I originally supported Ted Cruz for president due to some concerns I had on some positions Trump had taken prior to his declared candidacy for president. Now, it is difficult to comprise a list prior to the man becoming president; but looking at his agenda and those people he has selected, I can make a good argument on his behalf.

Pence – Trump had to gain confidence with conservatives and his number one pick was to bring in Governor Mike Pence as his running mate. Pence was also a Cruz supporter; but has taken control and may become one of the most influential vice presidents ever.

Supreme Court – Trump was not shy about the type of justices he would nominate to the US Supreme Court. With Justice Antonin Scalia’s passing, the direction of the court weighed on the next president. Trump has comprised a list of 21 conservative justices who would carry the torch of representing the US Constitution for years to come.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions – A staunch conservative who will fight against corruption in a non-partisan way.

Ben Carson – Sec of Housing and Urban Development. This man came out of the ghetto of Detroit to become one of the most successful individuals in American history. A Christian conservative who believes in working hard to become all you can be.

Tom Price – Sec of Health and Human Services. He has been the biggest critic of Obamacare and as a physician; he will lay the groundwork for the repeal.

Betsy DeVos – Sec of Education – She has been a supporter of state rights for Education and providing competition for education through Charter Schools and voucher programs for those in areas of struggling schools.

Homeland protection – With Generals John Kelly (Homeland Security), Michael Flynn (National Security Advisor) and James Mattis (Sec of Defense), I can not think of a great list of advisors in the ear of Trump to keep America safe.

Scott Pruit – Sec of EPA – There is no one better to run the EPA than the man who is suing the EPA. This is my most ironic pick. He will move to get rid of so many regulations that are hurting our country.

Rick Perry – Sec of Energy. Perry has actually called for the elimination of the Energy Dept. This dept should actually be the Dept of non-Energy. They do not create energy but only place regulations to limit energy.

Mick Mulvaney – Office of Management and Budget. This Tea Party supporter who supports the conservative House Freedom Caucus and led the effort to force out House Speaker John Boehner. Trump said, “Mulvaney has long been a strong voice in Congress for reining in out-of-control spending, fighting government waste and enacting tax policies that will allow working Americans to thrive.”

Stephen Bannon – Chief Strategist. A man that I had the pleasure of speaking to in the past. The strategist and campaign manager behind Trump winning. A conservative businessman, media executive, navy officer, and banker. He has connections and his news corporation of Breitbart News provided conservatives with the actual truth away from the liberal media.

A hiring freeze on all federal employees to reduce federal workforce through attrition (exempting military, public safety, and public health).

A requirement that for every new federal regulation, two existing regulations must be eliminated.

A 5 year-ban on White House and Congressional officials becoming lobbyists after they leave government service and a ban on White House officials lobbying on behalf of a foreign government with a complete ban on foreign lobbyists raising money for American elections.

Renegotiate NAFTA with our withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

Cancel every unconstitutional executive action, memorandum and order issued by President Obama.

Cancel all federal funding to Sanctuary Cities

Begin removing the more than 2 million criminal illegal immigrants from the country and cancel visas to foreign countries that won’t take them back

Suspend immigration from terror-prone regions where vetting cannot safely occur. All vetting of people coming into our country will be considered extreme vetting.

Reduction in Taxes.

Create a Task Force On Violent Crime and increasing funding for programs that train and assist local police; increases resources for federal law enforcement agencies and federal prosecutors to dismantle criminal gangs and put violent offenders behind bars.

Rebuilds our military by eliminating the defense sequester and expanding military investment.

Provide our veterans with the ability to receive public VA treatment or attend the private doctor of their choice.

This is by no means everything. I did not mention the wall, which Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan is against. Trump will not only need to fight Democrats, he will need to fight those in his own party. Trump most likely will not be able to get everything done; but if he were to get 80% done, I will be happy as a conservative. There are many people in his ear; but I like most of those he has put within shouting distance to keep him focused on a conservative agenda.

Since Donald Trump won the presidency, Hillary supporters and liberals want to find something or someone to blame. They have called Trump supporters racists only to find out 209 counties that voted for Barack Obama flipped to Trump. They have blamed the Electoral College stating the U.S. Constitution needs to be changed. They blamed the FBI for influencing the election after they previous praised the FBI for not filing charges against Hillary. They have rallied behind Jill Stein and the Greens to support a recount in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania claiming Russian hackers sabotaged the election without providing an ounce of evidence. To their displeasure, Trump actually gained votes and the recount exposed voter fraud by election workers in Michigan where several ballots supporting Hillary Clinton were counted multiple times in the Detroit area. Hillary and her supporters then said the election was influenced by fake news. Yet, it was Hillary and the Democrats who supplied many fake news stories including a conspiracy to commit violence and intimidation at Trump events to create the perception that Trump supporters were violent causing the public to be outraged with Trump in an effort to sway and intimidate voters away from supporting Trump.

Undercover journalist, through Project Veritas revealed the conspiracy where the Hillary campaign funded the Democrat National Committee (DNC) to pay Democracy Partners, a political consulting company founded by Bob Creamer. Creamer then funded the Foval group, headed by Scott Foval, who organized rioters to agitate and start disruptions to get bad press at Trump events. Foval stated, “We have to be careful because what we don’t need is for it to show up on CNN that the DNC paid ‘X’ people to..that’s not going to happen.” Talk about fake news to influence people to vote a certain way.

So now where do Hillary and her supporters turn to after they have thrown everything they can at the wall to make it stick? Oh yeah, the Russians did it. I guess they could not blame Bush for this one. After all, liberals must have something or someone to blame.

After the CIA concluded a secret assessment that Russia interfered collaborating with Wikileaks and the hacked emails from Democrats, the CIA admitted they did not have “specific intelligence” and the FBI also gave a differing account of Russian interference.

However, for fun, let’s assume Russia did hack the emails. Why did Obama and Hillary wait so long to act? Why are they only now complaining after Hillary lost? And if Hillary was concerned about cyber-security, shouldn’t she have been wiser not to set up a private server knowing she could be hacked? It was not the Russians that set up her illegal private server or forced her to delete 33,000 emails under subpoena. It was not the Russians who created the DNC scandals of smoke-filled backroom deals. It was not the Russians that made Donna Brazil slip debate questions to Hillary Clinton prior to a debate or force Hillary to accept the questions. The Russians did not force Hillary to lie about Benghazi. The Russians did not force Hillary to use the Clinton Foundation as a “pay for play” money laundering scheme through her influence as Secretary of State.

Hmm, wait a minute. Weren’t many of those donations to the Clinton Foundation from foreign governments? Wasn’t that foreign money used toward Hillary’s campaign to influence voters in her quest to be queen? As a matter of fact, Hillary signed off on a deal to give 20% of American uranium in exchange for millions to the Clinton Foundation to none other than – the Russians! So the evidence of the Russians and other foreign government influence directly points to Hillary and the Democrats. Obama himself has scolded those who engage in influencing foreign elections; but he too provided $300,000 of taxpayer’s money to an organization to defeat Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in an earlier election. It is hypercritical to blame anyone of those things you are doing yourself.

These were the same Democrats who defended Hillary for having an illegal private server only to now blame the Russians? Maybe they can blame the election on global warming or tell us Martians were responsible for Trump winning the election. Why not? They have tried everything else.

The fact is America did not like Hillary Clinton, her liberal agenda, or her lies to the American people. So the crybaby liberals think they can keep throwing stones to shatter the glass house of victory by Donald Trump; but sooner or later, these crybabies will run out of people, corporations, nations and world leaders to blame. My advice is that Democrats living in glass houses shouldn’t be throwing stones.

When Barack Obama won the presidency, I conceded and accepted the outcome and even wrote in our hometown newspaper that I acknowledge the milestone that Obama is the first black president and hoped for his success.

Now that Donald Trump has become president, liberals are falling out of their highchairs, crying like little babies needing a timeout. Even our hometown loudmouth, Larry Baca, is calling his presidency a con job. There is no graceful acceptance of Donald Trump being president. The cry babies are protesting in the street stating that Donald Trump is not their president. I have to say to those crybabies, if Donald Trump is not your president, you should go to the country that you recognize and hail your president there. Donald Trump is our president just as much as Barack Obama was president for the 60 million who voted against him. Accept it and get over it. It is kinda hard to feel sorry for those liberals who think the government should have unlimited power, when you never considered it might end up in the hands of someone you don’t like.

You crybabies were the same ones who were upset that Trump may not accept the outcome of the vote. Afterward, he did state he would accept it; but you crybabies won’t accept it. You continue to protest with violence day after day, accepting paid protest positions to create anarchy in America. It is about time you understand that you can not have everything your way. This is America and this is how our U.S. Constitution works. Among those not accepting the outcome is Barbara Boxer, who foolish called an end for the Electoral College. Sorry Raw Raw; but that is not going to happen unless the U.S. Constitution was amended by 2/3rds of the Senate and House of Representatives and 3/4ths of the states. Take your argument to someone who cares to listen to your nonsense. As far as the popular vote goes, there is an estimated 2-3 million illegal votes out by non-citizens and also much voter fraud, including a number of ballots signed in North Carolina by the same individual.

Do you want some hard core facts about the election? Of the 700 counties across the country who voted for Barack Obama twice, Donald Trump won 209 of them (As Michael Moore said, that is not racism. It wasn’t when they voted for Obama nor is it now). Hillary won 20 states compared to Trump’s 30 states. Only 1/3 of the Democrats in the House come from just 3 states: Massachusetts, New York and California. Of the 99 state legislative chambers, 69 are now controlled by the Republicans (Nebraska is unicameral – one legislative body not two). Republicans have 24 governors in states with Republicans in entire control of the legislature – only 6 states have the same for Democrats. There are 34 Republican governors and 16 Democrat governors.

This means the Republicans have a much deeper bench going forward than Democrats will have and likely that the Democrats will continue to lean farther left for their candidates for president.

On the other hand, the Electoral College keeps things close (if not gives the Democrats an outright advantage) and presents a danger to Republicans and therefore presidential opportunities to Democrats because California, New York, Oregon, and Washington provide the Democrats 103 Electoral votes automatically. The majority of states that have no voter identification, vote Democrat attributed to much voter fraud. Republicans must produce good government reforms and to get government out of the people’s lives. They must not compromise with Socialism; but allow Capitalism to make America great again. Republicans are held to a higher standard by their voters if they are to remain in power.

To the crybabies who are looking for your binky, complaining and protesting with violence, you got Trumped and just don’t get it. It is you who caused over 60 million voters to vote for Donald Trump. Those voters just want to Make America Great Again.

Donald J. Trump overcame many obstacles to become the 45th President of the United States.

He began his journey battling Washington elitist who forgot they were elected to serve the voice of the people; but instead served themselves and their own serf interests. Trump had to battle the Republican establishment, who viewed him as an outsider against more savvy candidates and party leaders to become the nominee. Trump had to battle a corrupt Democratic Party, which Wikileaks revealed Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz coordinated the defeat of Bernie Sanders to assure Hillary Clinton would be their nominee.

Trump had to battle the headwinds of a sitting Democrat president and then take on the corrupt Clinton machine of Hillary Clinton and Bill, a former president. Trump had to battle political power and foreign influence of wealth, Wall Street, and foreign leaders who paid and betted on a Clinton presidency and funded her campaign illegally through the Clinton Foundation, a charity organization used as a front for “pay to play” operations to amass more political influence, wealth, power, and organization.

Trump had to overcome being outspent by gobs of money and out organized by Washington goons to put away this novice candidate, who had never run for any political office. Trump had to battle against Democrat front groups like Democracy Partners and the Foval Group, financed by the Hillary campaign and the Democrat party, to organize violence and intimidation at Trump events as well as coordinate voter fraud activity to guarantee Hillary as their queen, as discovered through an undercover operation of videos by Project Veritas. Trump had to battle a biased media, which Wikileaks revealed many reporters were tied to the Clinton campaign. Some media outlets were entangled in the Clinton web while other media outlets were fearful to oppose it. Through Wikileaks, it was discovered that debate questions were leaked to Hillary in advance and some media reports were screened by the Hillary campaign prior to publication. Polling was done with an over sampling of Democrats to persuade public opinion and deflate Trump supporters that Hillary was guaranteed victory and Trump was guaranteed defeat.

It was easy to believe Trump would have a difficult time conquering the Washington elites, Republican establishment, the Democrat machine, a sitting president, Clinton corruption, voter fraud, or a biased media; but the forgotten American rose up to hear his call for action as the Trumpet sounded. The forgotten American saw Trump as an outsider against a swamp of corruption and collusion.

“We the people” had been ignored as these political elites headed to the golf course, shared their cigars, and lived their own life of luxury until the next election came, calling for more votes. The forgotten American saw Trump as someone who sounded his own Trumpet to his own tune to “Drain the Swamp” of corruption in Washington. Those that thought they would defeat Trump were Trumped by the man himself. The forgotten American wants their voices heard through Trump, the outsider, and that forgotten American showed up at the polls to voice their own Trumpet of victory to “Drain the Swamp.”

A series of investigative reports has revealed a conspiracy between Hillary Clinton and her campaign collaborating with Democrat front groups to incite violence and intimidation at Trump events as well as coordinating voter fraud to ensure a Hillary victory for president.
The Hillary campaign funded the Democrat National Committee (DNC) to pay Democracy Partners, a political consulting company founded by Bob Creamer. Creamer then funded the Foval group, headed by Scott Foval, to organize violence at Trump events and rallies to coordinate a perception that Trump supporters were violent.
The media, whom Wikileaks recently revealed 65 journalists tied to the Clinton campaign, have become Hillary’s cheer-leading team, collaborating to write a narrative to persuade public opinion with some reports reviewed and edited by Clinton staff prior to publication. According to Wikileaks, Hillary also received the questions in advance prior to the primary debates from a media source.
Creamer, who is a convicted felon for bank fraud, was the financial organizer for the operation. According to White House records, he was a guest at the White House 342 times and met directly with President Obama 45 times. In one hidden camera video, filmed at Creamer’s Washington, D.C. office, Creamer explains that Hillary Clinton is aware of “all” of his activities, directly or indirectly, and that Democracy Partners has a daily conference call with the Clinton campaign, as well as frequent calls with the White House.
On another video, Foval states “The campaign (Hillary Clinton campaign) pays the DNC, DNC pays Democracy Partners, Democracy Partners pays the Foval group, Foval group goes and executes the (explitive) on the ground” to agitate and start disruptions to get bad press at Trump and Pence events. Foval continues, “We have to be careful because what we don’t need is for it to show up on CNN that the DNC paid ‘X’ people to..that’s not going to happen.”
In another video, Foval admits to several ways to commit voter fraud with the guidance of Creamer without getting caught in their effort to rig an election. Foval states, “We manipulate the votes with money and action, not with laws.” Foval and Creamer coordinated with each other in a number of voter fraud scams including businesses writing checks to fake people and using the check stub as identification to vote in states that required voter identification. Those states that do not require voter identification would make the voter fraud much easier.
According to the Pew Research Center, one out of eight registered voters (24 million) are invalid in America. There are 1.8 million dead voters, 2.75 million voters in multiple states, and 12 million with invalid addresses. Already there have been multiple cases of voter fraud prior to the election including fake people being registered to vote. A woman who died in 2008 has voted five times since her death. A woman in Florida was found in possession of several absentee ballots for Hispanic voters whom were deaf, blind, or had Alzheimer’s. Foval admits that those committing voter fraud are not bused in but use their own vehicle to vote in multiple precincts and across state lines to vote for multiple voters that are no longer valid.
After the release of videos by Project Veritas, Creamer and Foval have “stepped aside” from their Democrat position.
As Americans, we want fair elections; but the evidence proves that Trump is correct when he states, “the system is rigged.”Frank Aquila is president of the South San Joaquin Republicans and author of the book, “Sarah Palin Out of Nowhere.” He can be emailed at mantecarepublicans@yahoo.com
